Artist's Comments

Nothing much, just that i've been reading more Sandman (whatever i could get my hands on at the library) and i'm in LOVE with the character designs. Who's the artist who did "The Sound of Her Wings", the last story in Preludes and Nocturnes? He's incredible. I adore Michael Zulli's wispy, surreal style in The Wake as well.

I based his face on the Velvet Revolver frontman. Yes yes they don't look alike at all, but since i hardly draw outside of manga style i figured it'd be wise to use a real person as a reference. I tried it out with Jonathan Rhys Meyers at first cos his cheekbones and face shape really fit my idea of Morpheus but... he ended up looking like a Red Indian. =X Well all this serves to illustrate one of the things i really like about the Sandman series: each artist can have his own interpretation of the characters and draw them in different ways. So it's really like the characters are universal, appearing in different variations and guises throughout.

Gnnnghmf. HALO THAR MORPHEUS. =d

*cough* Sorry - I've been a Sandman fan for a while now, and as much of a git as Morpheus can be I love him anyways. And you drew him utterly deliciously - that messy hair! The touches of shading! ALL LOVELY. :heart:

ZOMG LOVE. :heart::heart::heart:

For some reason I like the styles in The Kindly Ones and Brief Lives best. But Michael Zulli yessssshhhhh
:iconstoic1985:
I really like the face, it looks so gritty and edgy. It really showed a lot of character and has the "Neil Gaiman meets Mugen" feeling! : D Very nice! *O*

When I first saw your avatar, I thought it was from official artwork. It's that good!
:icondebingth:
Agh really?? :O Wow that's a major compliment right there, thankyou! XD Omg Mugen.... haha i didn't mean to do that. :D :hug:
